Unfortunately it´s not very busy here so this is our new series of beauty images with shades. This time extracted from Helium. Whole story here:

That is so amazing! I have a Helium, would you mind sharing the camera settings you used for these? Did you turn the camera body or extract vertical from a horizontal image?
 
Jon, sure. Glad you like it. These are all normal horizontals, cropped. Shot at 8K 2:1, 5000K, lens were Sony Cine Alta primes somewhere around f8. Cheers!

Thanks for sharing Ulf. Amazing shots. The quality is in line with the shots I extract from my Helium sensor (with Otus lenses). Great sensor, especially for this exact purposes.
 
Thank you for sharing the information. Did you have very low compression and shoot at perhaps 12 frames per second?
 
Jon, I tend to shoot low compression all the time, not sure if it is really neccessary though. If my mind serves me well it was 25fps.
 
Thank you for your feedback :) @Vince, we exported tifs and did a little retouch ourselves, not a lot though. There's also a little compilation of moving images as a teaser:

Sure, I thought the shades in the clip are quite revealing, we used gelled frames to get an even reflection in the glass. These also work as fill light for the single point source used as key light. Added some coloured gels where I felt they would fit, some just feathered the light source. As this is a plain white backdrop, coloured gels for the background light, too. All HMI plus one double 4ft kinoflow. Great work from the stylist, hair and MUA which honestly take the credit here. Glad you guys like it!
 
I would love more of this. The pictures are awesome!!! Love your editing style. I had a hard time understanding and editing something like that. Loving your work!
 
Waiting for more :) Very nice, sharp picture. What did you color in? I guess in redcine-x. I noticed that the pictures colored there have different colors than in, for example, Premiere Pro. Practically the same tools for work and the effect on redcine is different. Good job man ;)
